This program is made possible by the partners of Joyce Meyer Ministries.

Look at me and let me tell you something. You're always going to make mistakes.

But you know what? If you really want to get the upper hand on the enemy, don't spend one more day of your life feeling condemned about something you did yesterday.

I'm Joyce Meyer and I believe that God can heal you everywhere you hurt.

All right. Now we're going to talk about a few common fears that people deal with. You ready?

I think this fear right here is a big one. I'm afraid I won't get what I want.

I prayed, but I got a backup plan.

And then I've got a backup plan for my backup plan.

And then because I'm afraid that things might not turn out the way I want I can even get really good at manipulating circumstances and people trying to kind of make sure that I get what I want just in case God doesn't see it my way.

Come on, is anybody home out there tonight?

That's what causes us all the problems.

James 4, 1, and 2 says, what leads to strife?

What brings discord and feuds and fights and where does all the quarreling come from? And he said, it arises from your sensual desires

that are always warring in your bodily members. He's saying all the turmoil in our lives is from

all the stuff that we want, James 4-2, you are jealous and you

covet what others have and your desires go unfulfilled, so you become a murderer because to hate

is to murder as far as your heart is concerned. And then he goes on to say, you get angry

and you don't get what you want. And the beautiful answer is you have not because you ask not.

So here's the plan.

Ask God for what you want and trust him to give you what you need.

Come on.

Ask God for what you want and trust him to give you what you need.
